You're blind.

Consoles could barely render anything in this screenshot individually, never mind at the same time. You only get levels like that in completely linear games, and even then you don't have as much stuff in the area, which is why Red Dead Redemption worked on consoles, but a game like Crysis never will. It's also why Crysis 2 is set in a city and not in the jungle.
And that's not even as good as you can MAKE it look through some simple .cfg editing and mods.
Thats heavy rendered graphics which isnt always needed, should try "thehunter" for pc, free deer hunter game which uses the just cause 2 engine.
Looks amazing and much more optimised http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/955/955624/the-hunter-hands-on-20090220010556256-000.jpg
As for the next xbox, I think if hardware is to continue as it did in the last, what hardware we have now will most likely be whats used when xbox720 is launched in 2-3 years.
Considering a 1year old 4850 which sells on ebay for as low as 80US kills 99% of games atm, the system should have a decent gpu.
